The Awesomeness:
The very best part: seeing Esther.
The very second best part: the guy at IHOP wearing the shirt which read "I'm not a gynecologist, but I'll take a look."
The third best part: Esther being hit on by the Ethiopian gas station cashier.
The fourth best part: discussing with Esther who we would make wear the aforementioned t-shirt if we had the power. (It was hands down decided that Esther's brother Edward would be our top pick.)
The fifth best part: just being in the airport and getting some good people watching in.
The sixth best part: strawberry cheesecake icecream at Brewsters.
The seventh best part: my car didn't fall apart on me.
The Unawesomeness:
The first worst part: writing letters to friends in Cairo for Esther to pass along, then wishing that I was going to see them and not just writing them a letter. Then thinking about Egypt and my friends there so much that I felt as if I was leaving Cairo all over again. I felt my heart break like when I left Egypt, and I teared up in the airport Atlanta Bread Company.
The second worst part: saying bye to Esther (although this isn't too bad because she will be in D.C. come fall and I will be in Chapel Hill, so it will be like 4 or 5 hours between us. . . this is totally a travelable distance).
The third worst part: wanting with all my heart to jump on a plane and have an adventure in a new place, but instead I had to get in my car and drive back to Augusta.

Dottie,
Egypt (and all of us here) misses you too! Come back and rescue us from our misery!
Heather :)
i forgot all about passing along those letters. good think i read your blog :)
it was great to see you too!
love, esther
Ezaik Dottie? just writing to let you know I read your blog today. Say hi to Esther from me when you next E mail her, glad things are working out well for her. I enjoy reading your blogs, from time to time. Hope the move goes well.
I miss Egypt sometimes. Hope to visit sometime, not sure when yet! When I'm in London I sometimes visit the Arab district, to listen to people speaking Arabic, and buy a falafel sandwhich! I've got a place to study theology at a bible college fairly close to London starting in Sept. Take care Dottie,
Love Fiona x
So good to hear from you Fiona! I too enjoy getting your update letters from time to time.
Sometimes, when I'm walking around town shopping or whatever, I'll happen upon arabic speakers. I must confess that I follow them around just to listen to them speak. I even still listen to the teach-yourself-arabic cd I bought just before I went to Egypt the first time. It's silly, but it makes me happy.
